“When you go to the Holy Land and see what's being done to the Palestinians at checkpoints, for us, it's the kind of thing we experienced in South Africa.

Then they clobber you and say, "You are anti-Semitic."” ThinkingWantKindDoneRememberGivenPracticeHappenedLandHolySouthIsraelPalestinianSouth AfricaApartheidBeing DoneAnti SemiticHoly LandCheckpoints Author:Desmond Tutu
“I asked myself what Palestinians would do if Israel disappeared-if everything not only went back to the way it was before 1948 but if all the Jewish people abandoned the Holy Land and were scattered again.
